"Expats in Cap Estate may find the local dialect, a mix of French and English Creole, challenging to understand and communicate in. The laid-back, "island time" attitude can also be a challenge for those used to a more fast-paced, punctual lifestyle. Some expats may struggle with the high cost of living, particularly for imported goods. The heat and humidity can be difficult to adjust to, especially for those from cooler climates. Additionally, while Saint Lucia is generally safe, expats may need to adapt to local safety concerns and precautions. Lastly, the lack of certain amenities and services that they might be used to in their home countries can also pose a challenge," remarked another expat in Cap Estate, Saint Lucia.
